Those cucumbers are fucking purple and blue. You need to throw them out ASAP. You don’t want salmonella.

I can’t believe I’m about to say this but Playstation can fuck off. No ArcSys game(that I’m aware of) has ever needed a PSN account to play on PC. This bullshit can fuck right off. Makes this a no buy for me.
- Comment on If you need a portable reader, is there any reason to choose an e-reader over your phone? 2 weeks ago:
E-readers do a good job of bridging the physical book feel with technology. I was of the same thought that a phone would be enough until I held a Kindle in my hands. The first thing that popped out to me was that the screen was super close to a real book. I doesn’t have that electronic screen look so it’s much easier on the eyes. And you can change the color temp to make it even easier. It’s also not silky smooth like a phone screen. There is a tiny bit of texture that makes it feel closer to paper. It’s subtle but noticeable.
The second thing I noticed was that it was slightly bigger than the special edition colored paperback version of Game of Thrones I was reading at the time. The size being slightly bigger as one of the most comfortable books I’ve ever held in my life did change my perspective on e-readers being a viable replacement. Get a folding case that looks like a book and the fact that you’re holding a Kindle disappears once you get used to it.
E-books don’t take up that much space either. My whole collection is just over 1.5GB. Like 215 books in various formats. That might be nothing to someone who reads a billion books a year, but that’s not me. My Kindle has 16gb of storage. Other models have much more and I feel like I would never fill it. I’m not gonna waste space on my phone for something I’m never gonna use it for.
I’m not tempted to stop reading halfway through a page to check social media when I’m holding my Kindle. I never needed to jailbreak my Kindle to put my own collection of books on it. I don’t know if I’m lucky or if Calibre on Linux is just that good. Get one. Use it to read a short book. If it clicks you won’t go back.

Mastodon is pretty cool, it’s just that I like the community I’ve gathered together on BSKY more. It really is a case of you go where the people are and BSKY feels more alive comparatively. My Mastodon feed feels like a news feed of reposted paper articles. BSKY feels like real people.

Ok, I guess I’ll use Mastodon more. :(
- Comment on GTA 6 Price Finally Confirmed, Features a 'Single-Player Experience' at Launch 5 weeks ago:
Two of my favorite games of all time got remakes and are frequently on sale on Steam. MGS3 and FFTactics. Even on sale neither one is justifiable at $50 and $35. Death Stranding 2 at $70. Nahh. Pragmata at $60. Nope. Hell even Tempest Rising at $35 is too much for me right now. This hobby has been pushed to the extreme margins. There’s a large center girth of games I’d love to play but calling it justifiable is hard for anything over $20 right now.

I showed these to my middle school graphic design teacher and it gave him the easiest Photoshop lesson ever. He made us make a bunch of them. They got featured in the school art show. This was like 2004-05. Good times.
- Comment on Anyone get this? 2 months ago:
Grew up with people like that. My dad and my brothers. They’re so out going and funny on the surface. Great in their element of drugs and alcohol. The moment you dig deeper they’re cesspool level human beings. I’m the opposite. People usually tell me I’m so intimidating or quiet, but once they get to know me I’m a big teddy bear. That’s because I got to listen to you speak first. See what type of BS comes out of your brain. What actions you take.

You can do a 1080 into the urinal. I believe in you.
- Comment on Psyop potency chart 3 months ago:
I disagree with that Rock assessment. Is he well curated. Absolutely. The only thing mainstream about him is the genre he’s working in. Psyop strength? You gotta pay too much attention to everything he does in this attention economy for him to be a Psyop. Ain’t no letting the job do it’s work with Rock. You gotta give him your full attention. There’s a level of disconnect that a Psyop needs to work and Rock isn’t allowing that. Could you skim the dictionary and learn every word your eyes touched? I don’t think so.

Nah these were still king of the pron. Blanks in a shoebox under a bed. Some wild jungle shit on them that made you understand why you are a mixed baby. It wasn’t your parents on the tape. It’s just what daddy liked.

What is it then if you get the same stare without saying anything at all?
- Comment on Is the "Gen z stare" a real thing? 3 months ago:
The aggressor. Have you never been in a situation where you’re walking down a street and lock eyes with someone and they yell back ‘the fuck you looking at?’ Staring can be so much more than nothing. We’ve spent all our evolution as a species adding meaning to different looks and stares.
The eyes convey so much emotion. You can look at somebody and tell exactly how they’re feeling just by looking at their eyes. That’s the problem with the Gen z stare. There’s nothing behind it. It’s startling when you receive it. My immediate reaction to it is usually ‘is there something wrong here?’ Then to attach a judgment like you’re stupid to it by the person doing it is off-putting.
- Comment on Is the "Gen z stare" a real thing? 3 months ago:
Maybe it’s a culture thing then. I grew up in a city where I was told if you look at someone the wrong way they’ll beat your ass. I’ve seen it first hand too. You get the wrong person at the wrong time, staring can lead to a fight.

I’m also an early 90s baby. It used to be you’d say something back when you caught someone staring at you. Like hey take a picture it’ll last longer. Then the one staring would out of the moment, crack a joke back, and be done with it. Now it’s that moment going on too long and the person engaging the stare doesn’t even acknowledge it afterwards. My brother’s girlfriend does it all the time. The other day I’m getting ready to leave and opened my door to go to the bathroom and the girl stopped what she was doing to glare at me. No hello, no good morning, no thought behind those eyes. Just nothing. I put my hands up like I got arrested and she snapped back to what she was doing without acknowledging my existence.
It’s almost as if nobody told them staring is rude. It’s weird. It sucks.
